Each of the arcs was interesting and fun even the second (or in some cases more than the second!) time through so I congratulate all you 2011 winners on your well done arcs. However there can be but one winner and that is:

Huh. Serious wow on my part. I was surprised to win once... to win again, and against that kind of competition, is kind of mind blowing. What pulled my little arc clear of the pack?

Congratulations to our winner of the February 2012 contest!

@Jawshco for Arc ID 537099 Breaking Good

As always; the winner receives the full grand prize of 500 Million Influence. Thank you all for competing and see you all next Month!

Entries may be submitted for the next contest beginning March 1.

The March contest is now open for submissions!

Arcs must be submitted no later than 23:59 Eastern time Friday March 23, 2012.

Congrats to TeChameleon for the best of last year and to Jawshco for your recent win! I look forward to trying out your arcs.

To kick off the March contest, I thought I would submit one I had previously: Condemning Croatoa--245534. I wrote this originally with the goal of having none of that scary orange text with warnings about AVs etc. in the AE description. I thought that might encourage people to play it.

Well two and a half years and a scant 10 plays and 4 stars later I guess its safe to conclude that an absence of orange text does not in and of itself encourage play.

So, I dressed it up with all sorts of orange texty things that were more fun for me to include in an attempt to make it a more exciting experience. It's significantly enhanced since I last submitted it with all sort of things, such as
- A new canon contact who is more integrated into the plot and story.
- Dynamically evolving missions.
- Extended canon mobs.
- Custom canon AVs.
- A GM that you can solo and beat! (really!)

As with all my stuff its made with the soloer in mind and includes allies for those tough fights and to add some in-mission flavor and company...

Hope you all have fun with it and that it's as fun to play as it was to to work on!

Okay, here's my offering:
The Mothership Strikeforce ID: 541329

Glad to see they got the tools fixed just in time to work on this.

I'll throw in Heroes to Believe (Vigilante Version) ID: 534587
